Mediocrity

Nyeh

The savant had a vision.
All the scum was to be skimmed,
The limpid pool ever undimmed.

 

A light shimmers on the pool,
A gift from the selfsame sun
That now dries the scooped out scum.

 

The blue liquid eye stares now
Into its solar cousin,
A contest without an end.
The scum shines, iridescent 
Sinking into the wet grass.

 

Mercy died.
